MANY A BOY

Has so completely riddled
his summer suit that new
clothes are a necessity if he
is to be presentable at school
next week. 1t seems too early
to put on winter clothes,
and yet can you afford to
buy your boy a lightweight
suit to wear the few remain
ing weeks of mild weather?
Yes, you can afford it 10 this
way: We have selected from
our spring stock all the small
lots of the medium weight
suits, and have put them
together on bargain counters
marked at a FRACTION
OF THEIR COST.
Among them is almost
sure to be something to fit
your boy, and it will be
economy to buy the suit for
next spring, if he does not
wear it once this fall. Our
new fall stock is also ready
for'whoever prefers the heav-
ier clothing. All other ar
ticles worn by the male sex
are likewise accessible.

Artesian Wells in Yuba Com.

The Marysville appeal says: One of th,
greatest undertakings in this vicinity ir
the way of boring an artesian well will b,
commenced by n. d. Coombs on his rancI
southeast of Moore's Station at the comple
ton of the harvest. He has made prepara
tons to go down 1,500 feet, Unnecessary.
The land in the section mentioned !.
good for sheep grazing during consider
able portion of the summer. but with a
supply of water for the year round the
farmers say that they can make the Land
produce anything.
Mr.. Coombs thinks that the water can
be obtained between 500 and l 200 feet. but
that he calculated to go l 500 feet before be-
coming in anyway discouraged. This will
be the first artesian well in that section ot
the country, but should it prove successful
others will at once bore for flow.
Excepting the wells of the city water
works there have been but two artesian
wells bored in this county; one bv ". F.
Lazy, four years ago, when he struck water
at depth of thirty feet that flows the
greater portion of the year, and another on
Mrs Ebbett's ranch. in Plumas district.
which was bored to depth of over POO
feet in 1864

STATISTICS OF STRIKES.

The statistics OF strikes in the United
States are Interesting. Take the first six
months of 1886 and 1887 in comparison
and We find from Bradstreets that in 1887
there were523 strikes, with 234. 734 strikers
as against zoe in the same period in 1886
with $685. strikers. So while the strikes
have increased, the industrial workers in.
volyed have fallen off The largest num.
Der OF strikes in 1856 was in transpor.a.
ton, including the Missouri Pacific tro,,.
bles, and III 1887 was also in the Sam
business. But there were 1l2 in the mis-.
eellaneous class in 1887, against A. in tho
same class in 1856. In 1887 the steam
railway employees striking numbered u.
S7l, and in 1856 bat 5,6l5, while of street
railway employees there we're in 1886 I5.-
600, and in 1887 bur ESQ. Iron and steel
workers furnished the alost strikers-ao
per cent Of alI-in 1887, but Transports ion
she lavgest-21 per oent.-in 1886 except
iEg always the miscellaneous class. Tn,
lReiileay -9erie'r referring to the thought
to which ~, statistics Of the strike give
rise, says:

WniSn ave inteTfered with the savings OF the
S zen. al Pacific. Do you mean to say that the
70 'crnment should have left this whole west
IN country undeveloped until such time as ,ou
, had earned money TO pay your debt?
| mo, sir: but il they have done anything to
injgre US, the Government should Compensate
US. We say that the Governmep.. has been
benefited largely by this road, and It seems
wrong for il to go to work and deprive us Of the
profit which We might reasonably expect"
| Is it not a fact that between the years 1870 and
1876 the net earnings of the Central Pacific were
100000?
Yes. believe they were, but that sum in
cludes earnings of the unaided branches, as
well as the aided reads"
The question of railroad lands was then taken
up and speaking en- this subject Senator Stan
ford said: AS tor land, if the Government is
apprehensive on that score, we are willing to
turn all the land that we own, from the Sacra.
mento river through to ogden, back to the Gov
eminent for the price which their agents would
put upon It. We are willing that this should &c
toward payment of our debt. / believe if the
Government would give us what is Justly our
due, and release the branches which have been
added since that, we would be willing to turn
the road over to the Government"

trict Attorney Carey stating that unless the mo-
